In order to qualify for a credential through course work rather than the CSET, candidates must complete the following:
18 units in Animal Veterinary or Animal Health Science
18 units in Agricultural Mechanics, Agricultural Engineering, Landscape Irrigation, Plant Science (Mechanized Agriculture)
8 units in Agricultural Business Management and/or Farm Management/ Agricultural Economics
27 units in a combination of courses in Plant Science (which includes Horticulture, Agronomy, Soils, Entomology, and/or Pathology).
Students who are Agricultural Science majors automatically meet this requirement as a part of their degree requirements.
